We will always remember “Tiger’ . Dan the kiddos and I will never forget him.
A wonderful co-worker and friend. My true condolences to his family.
My sincerest sympathy to Cherie, the family and friends of Dave, he’s always been a kind, caring, and helpful neighbor, the best, one could hope for. I too will miss him, giving me crap everytime he seen me!!
My thoughts and prayers are with The Hughes family during one of life’s most difficult times. I had the pleasure of working with Dave for 18 years and we never had a dull moment. It is surreal walking into the depot and you not being in your chair asking when the next safety cookout will be and being out on the jobsite with you offering snacks to everyone. I am so thankful I had the opportunity to cross paths with you my friend, you will always be in our hearts and minds. Love Ya Brother, until we meet again
God bless the family. Ima miss Cowboy a great deal. Rest in Power Tiger.
